good awareness of the international business telex.nA good experience in reading letters of credit issued by cable.nGood English in expression and grammar.nNowadays in international business as well as in our daily life,we can often see English abbreviations,such as TKS,PLS,A/C,QTY,ASAP,NOV.How to understand them and how we can keep them in mind,whether there are any rules for forming the abbreviations in English,such questions have been puzzling many of us for quite long.nIn fact,the rules for forming the short forms of words and phrases come from the international business telex(shortened form of teletypewriter exchange or tele-printer exchange)which has vanished or disappeared in peoples sight since the middle of 90s last century.Telex has been influencing our nowadays international business so deep that at present banks and some traditional business traders are still using telex messages in business communication.Aims and Demands学习目的To know international business
